Restriction of Replication of Oncolytic Herpes Simplex Virus with a Deletion of γ34.5 in Glioblastoma Stem-Like Cells
22 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) can be genetically engineered to endow cancer-selective replication and oncolytic activity. γ34.5, a key neurovirulence gene, has been deleted in all oncolytic HSVs in clinical trial for glioma. Glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs) are a subpopulation of tumor cells thought to drive tumor heterogeneity and therapeutic resistance. GSCs are nonpermissive for γ34.5 − HSV, while...
